After a lovely 3 and a half mile walk in the sunshine this morning I thought I’d have another go at trying to order food online from one of the supermarkets.  Yesterday was a lost cause, as no delivery slots were available.  However, today I had more luck.  I logged into Asda and was lucky enough to grab one of the last few evening slots that they had just put out.   It’s been a rather trying time sitting here and ordering food though, as every few minutes a blank screen came on and a message stated that I was in a queue and to not refresh the screen as the site was ‘experiencing a high volume of traffic’.

This has been the first time I’ve ever ordered food online, as I prefer to go to the shop and pick it out myself.  However, these are troubled times.  The world is…

On Tuesday I ventured into our local town centre, Bury St. Edmunds, for the first time in 3 months.  Mr Johnson had kindly allowed me to travel to our holiday home in July, and I wanted to buy some sun cream in Marks & Spencer’s whilst the shopping centre was relatively quiet.  They stock the only sun cream that my face can tolerate.

Relatively quiet was an understatement.  I passed by many shops that were open, but they had no customers.  A bouncer stood outside Debenham’s, but the cordoned queueing section was empty.  Cafes were either closed or just doing take-aways, and of the shops that were open, a couple had 50% off advertised in the windows.  The few people that were about had managed to find their way to the shops with the biggest discounts.

Barring Covid, I had a sudden theory as to why the shopping centre might…

After such a hectic previous day we enjoyed a lie-in and didn’t venture down to breakfast until 9.00 a.m. when it was lovely and quiet with a good choice of tables.  I diversified my breakfast choices with a bowl of butternut squash soup (yes, I realise it’s a strange choice for so early in the day but I like soup, and it was available).  It was actually very tasty, served with a piece of roti that I might be tempted to go for the soup option again.

Seminyak Square

Time was ticking on, and it was 11.00 a.m. by the time we were ready to arrange a Grab car to take us along the coast to the resort of Seminyak.  The journey took around 30 minutes with the fare amounting to IDR 51,000 (£2.86).  It was interesting to note that this part of the island is built up all the…
